Big chains do stuff like that. They usually got on trouble once, or got some employees trying to game the system. Stuff with a damaged package can be taken by workers? There's always one guy that 'accidentally' drops the good stuff and then takes it home, and does that every day. Expired stuff can be taken home? Some things somehow end up in the back and are forgotten until one day over expiration. And then there are the idiots that find some stuff weeks expired, take it home, and then sue the company for giving them bad stuff. Usually management finds that it's easier to just outright outlaw taking things home instead of dealing with a few idiots, and that ruins it for all other people handling in good faith.
